INTRODUCTION
Traffic Measurement Recordings Modules are available on most major vendors OSS system. This means that each vendor will have their own recording function that might vary from one vendor to another. This extremely powerful data source consists of detailed event and measurement data of a significant portion of your users live traffic. By running selected optimization tasks in Xeus Pro, optimization engineers can drill down quickly to optimize known areas with quality issues, and analyze the recording results to pin-point parts of the network these issues are coming from.

If you are performing GeoAnalysis, ensure that the network data selected is Ericsson Bulk CM or Ericsson Kget log file.
Now, follow these steps to start importing your Traffic Recording log files: 1. Go to File > Import and Export > Import Traffic Recording logs (Ericsson GPEH OR Huawei OR NSN Megamon OR ZTE CTS OR Ericsson LTE Call Trace )
2. Click on Add Files button and select the files. Please note that; a. For GPEH logs, select the files which includes file 0. b. For CHR logs, if the file name is highlighted in red, this indicates that there might be a possibility that the selected log file does not contain PCHR or UCHR log file. 3. Select Add Folder, if users have placed the log files in a folder. 4. Browse and select files.
Please note: Single parsing of traffic recording files has been implemented (Previously, multiple parsing allows) to the improve speed in Xeus Pro application.

Ericsson Logs 1. At General tab, set the Time Offset according to your time zone. 2. If you are performing GeoAnalysis, ensure that you tick on Enable GeoAnalysis. Note: Ensure that the loaded network file contains RRC Measurement Report and NBAP Radio Link Setup Request messages. 3. Click to enable auto create excel report option and users can change the existing template by clicking the browse button. 4. Click the Filters tab to set the filter options. Select a Filter Template and click "Settings" button to set to the "Messages Filter" and the "Call End Filter". Click "OK" button to save the changes made at GPEH filter and for you to reload the same settings later. 5. Select the Settings tab to edit thresholds.

Users can also analyze normal and abnormal events within the dimension of the estimated location. Xeus Pro uses several propagation delay and mobile triangular calculation to perform location estimation.
Please Note: Geo-location method uses cells coordinate (longitude & latitude) instead of site id for better accuracy.
Plotting
Ensure that the Plot tab is selected.
